Hi,

The basic assumption that people mean well is how con artists and
high pressure sales tactics have operated since the dawn of
communication ("Oh, you can't afford the vacuum cleaner? I really
shouldn't, but let me just call my boss because I really want to
help you…").

Although at least with con artists there is the other thing of
"can't con an honest John".

I'm not saying DON'T give people the benefit of the doubt, but just
always be aware that when you do there will be people who take
advantage of that.

Turning back more to protocol design, we have spent decades walking
back Postel's Law as we find more and more ways that being liberal
in what our software accepts is untenable in the face of a hostile
Internet.


Thanks,
Andy
